Why I sacked my
secretary
Two weeks ago was my 45th birthday, and I wasn't
feeling too hot that morning; anyway I went to breakfast knowing my
wife would be pleasant and say "Happy Birthday," and probably have a
present for me. She didn't even say "Good Morning," let alone any
"Happy Birthday." I thought, "Well, that's wives for you. The children
will remember." The children came in to breakfast and didn't say a
word. When I started to the office I was feeling pretty low and
despondent. As I walked into my office, my secretary, Janet said,
"Good Morning Boss, Happy Birthday."
I felt a little better; someone had remembered.
I worked until noon. Then, Janet knocked on my door and said,
"You know, it's such a beautiful day outside and
it's your birthday, let's go to lunch, just you and me."
I said, "By George, that's the greatest thing I've heard all day.
Let's go." We went to lunch. We didn't go where we normally go; we
went out into the country to a little private place. We had two
martinis and enjoyed lunch tremendously. On the way back to the
office, she said, "You know, it's such a
beautiful day. We don't need to go back to the office, do we?"
I said, "No, I guess not." She said, "Let's go
to my apartment." After arriving at her apartment she said,
"Boss, if you don't mind, I think I'll go into
the bedroom and slip into something more comfortable."
"Sure," I excitedly replied. She went into the
bedroom and, in about six minutes, she came out carrying a big
birthday cake, followed by my wife, children, and dozens of our
friends. All were singing Happy Birthday... And there on the couch I
sat, NAKED.
